General Motors[1] has announced that Chevy Volt owners have collectively driven more then 100 million all-electric miles since the Volt went on sale two years ago. GM[2] estimates that the average Chevy Volt[3] owner travels more than 65 percent of the time in pure electric mode, with most owners driving around 900 miles between fill-ups.

“Since my daily driving is all electric[4], I only really need to buy gas for long road trips. I drove over 1,900 miles on my last tank of gas,” stated Andrew Byrne from Los Angeles.

With each trip that drivers don’t have to stop at a gas station, Volt[5] owners continue to increase their return on investment. Based on EPA[6] estimates and compared to the average new vehicle sold in the United States, Volt owners are saving about $1,370 a year in fuel costs.

“My commute is 55 miles round trip, but with the Volt[3] I use 80 percent less gas and save over $150 each month,” said Farris Khan from southeastern Michigan. “Plus the Volt is really fun to drive because of its instant torque; driving anything else feels like yester-tech!”

The 2013 Volt can drive up to 38 miles in full electric mode[7] using the energy from its 16.50-kWh lithium-ion battery. When the Volt’s battery runs low, a gas-powered engine/generator extends the driving range another 344 miles on a full tank.
